I have to side load apk from wmby website. Everything good to go. However when I want to purchase playback unlock, error wrote 'the item you requested is not available for purchase'. Please have a look on this issue. I'm really an active movie fan. I don't want this issue to appear once trial end. ebr has been extending the trial period. That's about all he can do until the issue is resolved with Google. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read a post literally before your own, it says: meaning Google Play issues with Android TV app are not sorted yet, and no Unlock is currently possible. What more exactly would you like there to be looked at? Sorry about my post earlier. Please consider it as panic post. I'm just afraid if unlock issue is a separate issue from Google play.

Just a note, NVIDIA Shield is not yet able to be installed (Nor will Shield find it in the Play Store). I am not sure why this is, as the the Shield is an Android device. I was just installing another Shield and found this issue and Emby is my main source, so this is not a good thing. (The other shields are still fine.) I keep seeing mentions of "Side Loading" but no info on HOW to sideload or what version is for what type of device. Am I upset I can't do a simple install as I should be able to...Yup. Even more so being a full paid user. (I also happen to be the one that lost ALL of our movies a few years back doing a delete of one movie and server code removed the entire movies directory! That was me...the one that told them of that major bug issue but the damage was done at point.) So now, not being able to install without work arounds, is just bad. As you can see in the attached, it shows that it is "Not Compatible" with my device. Ugh...Emby, this is embarrassing to say the least. I read WHY it was removed...But still...it makes no sense seeing you can also share Plex with a simple login. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...TRUE! I see it reads Android TV. However the screen shot is from the store directly when you use the link Emby provides even in this thread. The issue is Emby has posted links to Android and Android TV (both read the same), so clearly I was confused seeing when the Shield boots it reads ANDROID and not ANDROID TV. But in any case, it still can not be installed from the store. (Currently) I know they, Emby, did not do this as it seems Google did it based on a report and they are working to get it resolved. But it never should have happened and find it kind of hard to believe. For as mentioned, Plex can be used across the net, just like Emby, yet it was not removed. (I guess no one reported it.) Anyway, hope they get it resolved as it surely does not look great for such a product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusher11 854 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Weird that one app has been back for a while and still no sign of the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our mobile app got kicked from the Amazon store years ago (and repeatedly after that as recently as just a few weeks ago) yet our Fire TV app is still there. There is no rhyme or reason to how these app stores operate but they have ALL the power. They can simply decide they don't like you. Its their playground. We believe the current situation is just an administrative screw up on their part but it is slow getting to the resolution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwhodges 1532 Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 I believe that trial status is being continuously extended until this problem is resolved, so a separate purchase mechanism should not be necessary. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

branperryqc 3 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Hi guys! Just maded something easier for everyone if it happens another time! The Downloader app by Elias Saba from AFTVnews had is own short URL & download codes you can generate. Here's one for Emby: 65418 or aftv.news/65418 Just enter the numerical code in the AFTVnews address bar & there you go! You can easily direct install Emby on your Android TV (Google TV) devices. Hope it helps! The direct link I used is from the official GitHub repo of Emby, here's a proof : 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it had to do something with the new android 11 standard. For now sideload it until the devs get it sorted.
